About Corlia

Corlia was born in Cape Town in 1989 and went to DF Malan High School, Bellville, completing grade 12 in 2007. She graduated with a four year degree in Conservation Ecology in the Faculty of AgriScience at the University of Stellenbosch in 2011. Corlia's fourth year thesis was on 'The significance of raptor rehabilitation in the Western Cape, South Africa (2001-2011)'. This required examining the records of 922 raptors admitted to a rehabilitation centre near Stellenbosch over a 10-year period and analysing the trends and patterns. At the beginning of 2012 she started her MSc in Zoology at UCT with a project relating to the conservation of the endangered Bank Cormorant.
